How long will my vehicle branding last?

The lifespan of a vinyl wrap can vary, depending on how well it’s maintained over the years, weather and external factors and the quality of material initially used for branding. We can provide vinyl for long term use or short term exposure, for example a weekend showcase if needed.

Will applying vinyl to my car damage the paint?

Not only will a wrap not damage the painted surface of your vehicle, if the paint is factory paint the wrap will protect that surface and preserve the quality of the paint underneath. If removed correctly, the vinyl won’t leave any residue, or peel any paint or clear coat with it.

How long does it take to brand my car?

Application times vary according to the size of the vehicle and complexity of the project. A vehicle with a lot of complex curves take a lot longer to do. The initial preparation for branding also needs to be taken into account, for example: printing, cut and prep of the vinyl.

How can I start making my own badges?

Step 1:

Contact us for specials on components and machines.Once you have your machine operating and have purchased the components you need, you can start making your badges.

Creating your badge:

Any printing programme such us Microsoft publisher, print master or even windows can be used to create your badge. We will provide you with a template to create the correct size circles which you can colour in the background, add pictures from clip art and wording with word art. If you have access to the internet you have access via clipart on line to thousands of pictures. Businesses looking for badges will also often do the art work and send it to you. Just ensure you give them the correct size. Copy this onto the template, print and cut. Surfing the web for badges and stickers will give you some excellent ideas.

Printing:

You should use a good quality printer, and 80 gram paper. If you do not have a printer or are making a large quantity of badges you should look at getting quotes from your local Printer.

Marketing:

It is a good idea to have a sticker with your business name and phone number on the back of the badge as people often look at a badge and ask where a person bought it.

Schools are good clients for badges and magnets. Leaving some samples of positive affirmation badges for children in a staff room often creates orders. They all have sporting houses and many have Entrepreneur days.

Mother’s day, Fathers day and Christmas presents are often ordered by the schools. The children each draw a picture in the circle, the pictures are sentto you and you make them into fridge magnets (all sizes), mirrors or bottle openers (56mm only).

Medals for sports days or go-kart days are popular.

Schools also order commemorative badges for school anniversaries and special occasions.

Many of the bigger churches have shops where badges, mirrors and magnets with Christian messages are popular.

Local party shops and gift shops sell badges commemorating birthdays, anniversaries and other occasions. However most of these are brought in from China or USA and there are no Afrikaans, Sotho or Zulu ones.

Gift and card shops also stock magnets with inspirational messages or quotes with photos of nature in the background.

People love having fridge magnets to commemorate occasions. We have sold them for Birth of babies, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, invitations and even funerals.

They are also very useful as a reminder of a special forthcoming date –wedding, 21st etc. No excuses if you forget the date advertised on your fridge for a month or so.

Button badges are also used for name tags. Many shops enjoy their staff wearing badges advertising sales, new products or promotions when they occur.

Fetes and flea markets are also a good place to sell. There is a craze at the moment for Teen-agers to wear small badges with funky sayings on their clothes, bags and hats.

People are often fascinated how badges are made. If you have a machine operating at a flea market or fete, the children can even draw a picture or have their name written on a badge and have it made before their eyes.

Magazine, yellow pages and website advertising are all effective means of advertising. As your business grows so will awareness of and interest in your products. When a company makes an enquiry, it is a good idea to make a sample and take it or send it to them. They often find it difficult to visualize the badge and are usually very impressed with the finished product.

Political parties are a good lead.

Marketing and promotional companies.

Golf days.

Name tags.

New products or services.

Wear your product where ever you go. People are always looking for new ideas to do things and you will be amazed how many people will enquire where you got your badge from…

Pricing:

This is always difficult and there will need to be a sliding scale for larger orders and vary from size to size. As a guide line, for 1000 badges the price would vary from R3-00 (25mm) to R6-00 each for the 75mm. Smaller quantities would command higher prices of around R5-00 to R15-00 each. Fridge magnets, key rings and bottle openers would be more.

Should you get a large order that your machine cannot cope with or an order for a size you don’t make, do not give up on the order, call us, get a quote, add-on your commission and make some money while acting as the middle man. It is not uncommon to get orders from Corporate companies of 10 000 and more.
